“Fishing is a time-honoured tradition and terrific way for families to spend time together,” says Greg Rickford, Minister of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry in a media release. “I hope everyone in Ontario is able to head down to a lake or river and take part in free fishing week this year.”

For the rest of the year, anyone between 18 and 65 has to have an outdoors card and a fishing license though veterans and active Canadian Armed Forces members residing in Ontario are exempt.

Those taking part in this initiative are reminded to respect the public health regulations of step two of its reopening plan including outdoor gathering restrictions.

While you will not require any license to fish at these times, anglers still must follow conservation licence catch limits, obey size limits and sanctuaries and follow all other fishing regulations and rules.

Children 12 and younger can download and colour the licence-free fishing colouring page to be entered to win one of five fishing prize packs. To download click here.

StoosNews Spotlight: Check Out The Business Beat This Week Featuring Peterborough Power Sports, Kawartha TV and Stereo, PKA SoftTouch and Camp Kawartha

PTBOCanada is delighted to be running StoosNews columns each week here, spotlighting new businesses and startups in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. Here is this week’s edition… 

The new Peterborough Power Sports recently opened on Lakefield Road. Owners Mike Wood and Kevin Reuter are local guys who saw a need for a power sports shop with high-quality performance parts, as well as a good selection of the more commonly used parts.

They service all small engine power sport machines and can deal with rims and tires as well as recreational sales such as dirt bikes, atv’s and electric scooters. The address is 2710 Lakefield Rd., just north of Giant Tiger. Call 705-741-6262, peterboroughpowersports.com or find them on social media.

Congratulations to Kawartha TV and Stereo on their 50th anniversary! Starting in 1971 as a sewing machine store with a couple of stereos on the shelf, Glenn Stuart quickly realized that the audio/video side of the business was more popular and he and his brother Scott, who joined the company in 1986, have never looked back.

A local family business, the store has been at the corner of Park and Lansdowne since 1985 and takes pride in their 20 full-time staff who have been with them for an average of 20 years!

Dick Crawford’s Lakefield-based company PKA SoftTouch has been working on the development of their patented Micro-needle. They raised nearly half a million dollars last year which funded their clinical trials at the University of Guelph.

They have just launched a second crowdfunding campaign for the human trials phase. Dick describes the Micro-needle as a painless vaccine delivery system, providing a painless, accurate process with no vaccine waste. Visit pkasofttouch.com or call Dick Crawford at 705-652-6100.

Camp Kawartha continues to build its new Health Centre, which will be an innovative "zero building" demonstrating the very best in sustainable design, with a zero-carbon footprint, zero fossil fuel use, zero waste output, zero toxins and net-zero utility costs.

A 100th-anniversary project, the Camp was recently surprised by a creative new fundraiser from Heather Watson, Creative Director of acorn30 and Douro Ward Councillor. Acorn30 is delivering white oak tree seedlings as gifts to its clients and planting a seedling for each client on the grounds at Camp Kawartha. For each planting, a donation is made by acorn30 to the Health Centre fundraising campaign. campkawartha.ca/health-centre

Local Peterborough Businesses Donate Canada Day Sales For Indigenous Issues

Peterborough businesses have donated proceeds during Canada Day and the following weekend in support of Indigenous causes.

The Planet, Silver Bean Café, KitCoffee, The Night Kitchen, Le Petit Bar and St. Veronus were participating restaurants that have donated a portion of their earnings made on Canada Day or the following weekend.

The inspiration came after the trending hashtag #CancelCanadaDay surfaced as a part of truth and reconciliation for Indigenous people. Community members would not celebrate the country’s anniversary and reflected Canada’s involvement of Residental Schools’ treatment towards Indigenous people until the 1980’s.

The Planet and Silver Bean Café have donated 25 per cent of their Canada Day proceeds to Legacy of Hope Foundation; an Indigenous charity to educate and create awareness and understanding about the Residental School System according to their website.

“The recent news of more mass graves being discovered at residential schools is so upsetting,” said The Planet on a Facebook post. “We can't change the past but we can work towards a better future.”

KitCoffee is donating all its Canada Day profits to the Indian Residential School Survivor Society (IRSSS); an organization that provides services to Indian Residental School Survivors.

Le Petit Bar and St. Veronus are donating 15 percent of all their weekend sales towards IRSSS. In addition to them, The Night Kitchen donated all their Tuesday proceeds to Mnoominkewin festival held in Curve Lake during the month of September.

Donations to Legacy of Hope Foundation and IRSSS can be made on their official websites.

Former Trent University President Calls It a Career

Following a return to research and the classroom, Dr. Steven Franklin, interdisciplinary environmental scientist and former president and vice-chancellor of Trent, is retiring from the University.

Dr. Steven Franklin has held academic and administrative appointments at the University of Saskatchewan, the University of Calgary, Memorial University, and the University of Waterloo. Photo Courtesy of Trent University.

 “Dr. Steven Franklin brought a passion for engaging students in the classroom, on-campus and beyond, and cultivated experiences that focused on hands-on learning,” said Dr. Leo Groarke, Trent president and vice chancellor. “His legacy as a key leader at Trent will be marked by ambition and collaboration as he renewed Trent’s vision and planning processes, overall strategic directions, and academic structure to build on the traditions and outstanding legacy of the University.”

Franklin was appointed the seventh president of Trent University in 2009. During his five-year term, he put in place the University’s first Integrated Plan, launching key initiatives to strengthen Trent’s academic excellence, strategic enrolment management, financial stability, and community engagement.

Under his leadership, the University also marked several milestones, including the opening of the Life & Health Sciences Building and the Trent Athletics Centre, development of student residence annexes adjacent to the campus on Water Street, the identification of the need for a central Student Centre, and growing strong connections with post-secondary partners including Ontario Tech University in Durham and Fleming College in Peterborough.

He had a key teaching role in three new academic programs developed during his time as president: Bioenvironmental Monitoring and Assessment, Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems and Environmental Geoscience.

“In-classroom experiences are at the heart of why I became a professor in the first place,” says Franklin. “I was fortunate to spend time teaching in first and second-year courses, and working with students was a nice way to cap off my academic career.”

Dedicated to supporting the next generation of environmental scientists, Franklin, together with his family and friends, established the Jean and Eric Franklin Bursary at Trent in 2012.

The fund is in memory of his parents, Jean (nee Simmonds) and Eric Franklin, who emigrated to Canada in 1956, raised four children (Gillian, Steven, Barb, and Michael) in Aurora, Kingsville, and Windsor, Ontario, and retired to Vernon, B.C. in 1995.

The bursary is inspired by their love of reading, learning, and the natural world and supports students in the Geography or Environmental & Resource Science/Studies programs at Trent. Donations to the bursary are encouraged to mark Prof. Franklin’s ongoing legacy at the University.

Local Country Artist To Release Upcoming Album While Reflecting Recent Success

It has been a long 13 years of being in the country music business but Peterborough’s Elyse Saunders displays the evolution of her career with a new single for her upcoming album released this fall.

Saunders is the current Country Music Association of Ontario Artist of the Month for June, one of seven new finalists in the Boots & Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase and was a top five finalist in CBC Music’s 2021 Searchlight competition. Photo Courtesy Of Liz Rosa Photography.

“Sunshine State Of Mind” is Saunders’s latest song that debuted in mid-May and one of three singles — “Free” and “Wine Down” as the others — that have been released for her upcoming album “Free”.

Co-written by Saunders and T.J. Simpson, this was the first single since being nominated for Female Artist of the Year and Rising Star of the Year by the Country Music Association of Ontario.

“Sunshine State of Mind” was meant to radiate joy, summer adventure and sunny escapism according to Saunders.

“We wrote it before the pandemic shut down,” she said. “It would be so nice to get away. We wanted the song to be everything people wanted to think of when they go on a tropical vacation. We also wanted that message to be on vacation no matter where you are.”

Her newest album is a culmination of what she learned in the music business and how she has grown since starting her music career in 2008.

Since 2020, the Peterborough country singer has gained a list of achievements and awards such as Video of the Year at the 2020 Mississauga Music Awards with “Free”. “Wine Down” had 100,000 streams across Spotify and Apple Music, 46,000 YouTube views with two Country Music Association of Ontario nominations.

“I’ve come into my own in the last year and a half and two years that I’ve gotten to this point feeling confident,” explains Saunders. “I feel like music has made me stronger and made me the best version of myself. It forces me out of my comfort zone so you become pretty fearless and unstoppable.”

”Sunshine State of Mind” has over 68,000 views on Youtube to date since premiering on May 15. Photo Courtesy of Elyse Saunders Jasper Anson.

Saunders reflects on growing up in Peterborough and the surrounding area with how it influenced her to become a country music singer.

The music star has lived in Keene, River Road South just outside of Peterborough and spent a lot of time with her grandmother who lived in the countryside.

“When I talk about Peterborough, a lot of my music reflects that,” said Saunders. “‘Free’ was inspired by my youth, being free of responsibility. It’s nice to come home to Peterborough.”

When asked about her end goal with country music, she wants to go as far as she can with her career.

“I imagine myself as an international artist,” said Saunders. “It’s about finding the right team doing whatever we can together. It’s an amazing gift to be able to have and sharing my music is always exciting to see.”

VIP Guest Aids in "Ground-Digging" Ceremony for New Animal Care Centre

Construction began in early May at 1999 Technology Dr. but COVID restrictions prevented a traditional groundbreaking ceremony.

$7.6 million of $10 million has been raised for the new animal facility.

The building has created roughly 50 construction jobs with 20 full-time jobs upon its completion according to the press release. Construction completion is expected by December 2022.

“Thor is a perfect example of how the new Centre will impact the lives of animals in need,” says Shawn Morey, Peterborough Humane Society executive director. “He’s unneutered and waiting to get a spot for his surgery before he can be adopted. With backlogs at veterinary and spay/neuter clinics throughout the region, animals like Thor wait weeks or even months to get in for surgery.”

The Centre will include the Peterborough Humane Society’s Adoption and education centre, a publicly accessible spay and neuter clinic and a provincial dog rehabilitation centre.

The production is created by Megan Murphy and Kate Suhr who also star in the show. It is directed by Managing Artistic Director Kim Blackwell with musician Saskia Tomkins joining the duo onstage playing music.

Performances will run Tuesdays through Saturdays from August 17 to August 28 as tickets go on sale starting Monday and are available to purchase through 4th Line Theatre’s Box Office.

Murphy and Suhr created the first version of the show in the summer of 2020 to connect with and perform for people during the pandemic. They traveled around the region to people’s porches, verandahs and backyards performing their captivating show for intimate gatherings.

“I am filled with excitement to be hosting Kate, Meg and Saskia at the Farm this summer. The Verandah Society shows in 2020 gave our community much-needed art and was a balm on our souls in a dark time,” explains Blackwell “This summer, the songs and stories that Kate and Meg have created will bring art back to the Farm as we begin to recover from our time of isolation. I cannot think of three better artists to guide us forward.”

“We're so thrilled to be collaborating with the 4th Line team this summer,‘ said Murphy and Suhr. “To have the first show back after COVID at the Farm is an absolute delight. We can't wait to have a live audience join us safely on the verandah.”
